[longboardorific]

longboards are a lot more fun and easier to learn to ride
and take actual skill to stop

[wardlarson]

freebords are super duper GAYE

Ride whatever you want.

Skate more, post less.

Well I'll go with longboards because, well that's all I have and I tried my friends freebord and it was pretty hard, but he coming over soon, we'll see who wins on the dh.

hey here's something new, I've actually ridden both! Watch me comment on ACTUAL experience!

I prefer the longboard as it's more practical - you don't need a hill necessarily to ride it and it's hella easier to push on flats.

The Freebord is very cool for what it is and it's kinda snowboardy if that's what you're looking for

Longboard...WAY more practical on flats.

Freebords are really fun, i used to freebord before i longboarded, but once you get good, there's not really any place to go... It's also not the best simulation for advanced snowboarding, as you cant really use your edges to carve, it's more of a slip n slide. That said, once you learn them, they're really fun to tool around on on some hills...

I have ridden with the two top guys on the freebord team.
they would haul down some steep ass #### that would make most of you pimply silverboys cry....

Freebords require a steep hill to get you going very fast. It's fun if you have the right terrain for it (mountains)...

Freebording = 10% riding, 90% walking back up the hill

Just like speedboarding if you don't have a car...

Longboarding = 20% riding, 75% walking back up the hill

5% riding up the hill = priceless

I know someone who bought a freebord but he lives in Alameda (read no hills) so he can't ride without driving to another city/town. Lame.

So, longboards. Now go skate.
